Alicia Keys

Stunning crooner Alicia Keys was born Alicia Augello Cook and grew up in New York City. At age 7, she began taking piano lessons. She gives credit to her mother for encouraging her to continue playing the instrument. In 1998, Alicia started signing for a major record label. It was only in 2001 when she finally got her big break for her debut album Songs in A Minor. It gave the recording artist her first chart-topper.

She now has a net worth of $150 million and continues to captivate the audience with her soulful sounds. She is not only an accomplished musician, but she is also an established producer and actress. The natural beauty launched the #NoMakeup campaign posted on Twitter, which aimed to embrace each woman’s uniqueness, even without makeup. Beautiful from the inside, she is truly an inspiration to women of all color when it comes to music, business, self-acceptance, and true beauty.
